Oksana Morozyuk about abstract photography, contests and inspiration

Oksana Morozyuk is engaged in abstract art and microphotography. She has an impressive list of awards in her luggage, and it seems to us that Oksana’s secret of success is in her love for her work, perseverance, thirst for knowledge and bold imagination: a drop of wine in her lens turns into a whole abstract picture, and ordinary cutlery into an outlandish flower . Today the photographer told us about herself to rosphoto magazine.

About myself

I can not say for sure how long I’ve been doing photography, but seriously, I took it for granted when I had a good camera. I decided to shoot not only for my own pleasure, but also to do it on a professional level. At first I tried to study on my own, using books, magazines and the Internet, but this was not enough, I had to choose courses for training. In 2011 I entered the photo school on the basis of VGIK. She graduated first general course, and then, in 2013, a special course of art photography. And only after that I was able to consider myself a professional photographer, so I can say that I do not take long photographs.

About genres

Today I’m engaged in art photography and is not limited to a certain genre – I just translate my idea, without thinking, to what direction it relates. For me, the main thing is to realize your fantasies.

About ideas

I fell in love with abstract art not long ago, when I became seriously interested in art in general, its history, modern authors. The very word “abstraction” translates as “distraction”, and the picture, in my opinion, is just able to distract, captivate the viewer, make him think and, of course, fantasize. I would like my work to cause such impulses. For me, abstract photography is an emotion captured on paper. The appearance of the idea of ​​a picture remains a mystery to me, it arises spontaneously. For example, I look at the subject and understand that it can look quite different than we used to. Can inspire watching a movie, visiting an exhibition, reading a book. Some ideas I embody immediately, while others are waiting for their time.

About travel and nature

I like to travel, but I can not say that I do it often. Yes, and highlight your favorite direction difficult. I do not have a direct connection between inspiration, nature and weather. I am a person of mood, only it affects my ability to work, the generation of ideas and their embodiment.

About risk

I’m a risk-free person and do not justify the risk for the sake of one frame. It is better to go a long way in life and make many more excellent cadres than to die for the sake of one. This is my opinion, and I do not claim to be correct.

About vision

It seems to me that the vision is a kind of union of innate talent, influence of environment and learning. Only this combination makes it possible to become the author of something unorganized and talented. Education and knowledge for me – the main thing, you need to learn all your life and constantly be aware of everything new. Yes, there are people simply genius, they can create without training, many argue that it limits imagination, and the like.

About the criteria for a good photo

For me, a good photograph is one that it is difficult to pass by, it must be emotional, original, which makes you think and fantasize.

On public opinion

Today I take part in competitions as a certain test of my creativity and the relevance of my ideas. I realize that victories in competitions are subjective and much depends on luck, but this is not the main criterion. I am a doubting nature and I do not consider all my works as good enough, so I constantly have to dispel doubts with the help of competitions.

It all started with the first camera given to me by this manufacturer, I got used to it and already acquired only its technique, and there is no desire to change it for something else, the habit decides everything. Although today the market a huge amount of equipment, all kinds of innovations and improvements.
